Craig Havens (US/DE) is a visual artist exploring the migration of traditional physical monuments into photographs, sound recordings and moving images – effectively disembodying the monument and allowing it to traverse space and time. Works employ site-specific installation and ritual actions to reveal new perspectives on established monumental constructs. Havens views a defining aspect of contemporary life as being a heightened sense of temporality. His work employs this perspective to present the viewer with opportunities for confronting transience and the improbability of existence.

Work has been exhibited internationally in such venues among others as Art Basel, Switzerland in 2013, Open Arts Foundation and United States Embassy, Sofia, Bulgaria in 2014, Weserburg-Museum für moderne Kunst, Bremen, Germany in 2015, Nanjing International Arts Biennale, Nanjing, China in 2016, Galerie Andreas Schmidt, Berlin, Germany in 2017 and Cultuurcentrum/Triennale Brugge in 2018.
